Customer Review: Excellent addition to Home Gym
I live in a condo where none of the doorways have enough room on both sides to use one of those doorway pull-up bars, but I've always wanted to find something since pull-ups are such an excellent upper body exercise. I first found this product in Skymall magazine for roughly the same price including shipping that it was listed by this seller. I was somewhat worried about how much space it would take up and how sturdy it would be but I found it relatively easy to put together and very soundly built. My only suggestion is that I would avoid putting it on a carpeted surface if possible. I have a cheap foam mat on top of my carpet and the tower sits on top of the mat. It seems to be stable enough on that but I would recommend a hard flat surface if possible. When it was on just carpet that was relatively plush it did have a bit of a wobble but at no time doing either pull-ups or dips did it begin to tip over.
Customer Review: Great addition to your home gymj
This Weider 200 Power Tower is a terrific piece for your home gym at a great deal. I've owned it for over two weeks and have been extremely pleased. It's a very sturdy piece of equipment and was easy to construct. It took me less than an hour to put it together with my son. The only tools you'll need are two adjustable wrenches and a phillips head screwdriver. The instructions are well written and simple to follow. This is what I like about this pull-up tower: 1.Sturdiness: I weigh about 200lbs and there is very little bouncing or shaking when I do pull-ups, dips, or leg raises. It's designed with two long stabilization skids that help to prevent shaking. Of course there will always be some bouncing / shaking with these towers, unless you buy a commercial pull-up tower (usually starting at over $500) or bolt yours to the floor. I keep mine in my garage, not bolted to the floor, and it shakes only very slightly. I've tried kipping pull-ups as well with no issues. 2.Dimensions: At 85 inches tall this item will fit in any room with 8 foot ceiling, which is fairly standard in most houses. This gives you plenty of clearance for your head in a room with 8' or higher ceiling. 3.Overall design: The pull-up bar has decent padding that won't quickly wear down. The push-up bars are placed far enough from the lower cross bar to give you plenty head clearance. The pull-up bar is on the opposite side from the dips / leg raise side, giving you plenty of room to do your pull-ups, especially if you do kipping pull-ups, knees to elbows, or angles to the bar. I've tried all of these exercises on this machine with no problems. I've also hung gymnastics rings from the pull-up bar to do suspended pushups. At about $180 including shipping, I think the Weider 200 Power Tower is a good deal for a really nice addition to your home gym.
